Cambodian prince heads joint venture with Police Tero FC
Thai League football club Police Tero on Monday announced a partnership headed by Cambodian Prince Norodom Ravichak aimed to bring the team back to greatness again.
The new partner is committed to developing football under Police Tero FC and leading the team to greatness again, which aligns with the goals of the current management, team manager Thanya Wongnak said.
The club’s goal is to reach the top 3 of the Thai League next year and participate in the AFC Champions League, he added.
Prince Norodom Amarithivong, the representative of the joint venture partner, said that he was personally interested in managing a football team, and saw this venture as a good opportunity to develop football both in Thailand and ASEAN as a whole.
“We chose Police Tero because this team has a long history,” he said. “It is a former Thai League champion and won 2nd place in the AFC championship and we intend to bring it back to that level.”
Amarithivong added that he would use personal connections to attract foreign players to strengthen the team, as well as promote Thai and ASEAN footballers to play at the international level.
Amarithivong used to play for the Cambodian national team. An avid football fan, he is reportedly looking to expand partnerships at the international level to further improve Cambodian football.
Another Cambodian prince in the joint venture group is Prince Norodom Narithipong.
Police Tero is currently in 9th place in the Thai League Division 1, with three wins, four draws and four losses in 10 matches of 2023-24 season.
